Jardín Botánico Nacional de Viña del Mar, Botanical garden in Viña del Mar, Chile
The National Botanical Garden extends across 395 hectares of land, containing native shrublands, forests, and numerous plant collections from different regions of Chile.
In 1951, the nitrate industry transferred the grounds to the Chilean government, which transformed it into an agricultural experimentation field under the Agricultural Research Council.
The garden maintains educational programs for children and students, offering outdoor courses focused on environmental education from March through December.
The garden opens daily from 9:00 to 17:30 on weekdays and until 18:00 on weekends, with different entrance fees for adults, seniors, and children.
The garden housed specimens of Sophora toromiro, a tree species extinct in its natural habitat on Easter Island.
